Sneezing

Both bunnys have intermittant sneezing, ie maybe once or twice a day. can anyone list possible reasons for sneezing? theres no snot or soreness and both are eating and pooping and driving mummy up the wall as usual x
thanks xxx
 
Jane once mentioned sneezing has been related to teeth troubles but I doubt it in this case as they are both doing it. It sounds like it's their environment, it may just be dusty. Has it just been happening today?
 
its happened today and once last week. ive checked thier teeth, my house isn't dusty as i have dust allergy so have to be clean. thier teeth are fine

by opening thier mouth....??? and i live not far from a woman who is a vet nurse and she checked them tooo
 
As far as I am aware opening their mouth is not sufficient to detect teeth problems. They need one of those magnifier contraptions to see the back molars, and even then that's not sufficient to see root problems, which is done by x-ray.

I'd be very surprised if the sneezing was teeth related though.
 
is easy to see their front ones if they are calm about having mouths touched but to see the back ones my vet had to stick one of those long things that go in your ear with a light on the end in their mouths so I guess the back teeth aren't something you can just have a look at at home.

the vet checked for teeth problems last time we were there. and to be honest i wuld be surprised as well as i would be having more problems than this if it was someting like that x
 
I thought teeth problems also meant a runny nose and dribbling? I know a couple of mine sneeze with hay... But as there no wetness or snot and they eat everything I not too worried...
 
Have they got near the bottom of a bag of food? That tends to be dusty in the bowl and would explain why it was on odd occasions....everytime you finish a bag?

Having the heating on can also dry the air and that may be making their airways more easily irritated?

Not necessarily, it can cause leaky tear ducts though. Yes Bobbin can sneeze if his food is getting to the end of the pack and is a bit dusty.
